FLAME-RESISTANT PYJAMAS

Early day motion 1365, tabled 26 April 2007 by Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 39 members.

That this House applauds the Northern Echo for its Protect our Children campaign, which aims to close a loophole in the law that allows children's pyjamas to be exempt from the flame-resistant regulations that apply to dressing gowns and girls' nightdresses; calls on all responsible retailers to remove immediately stocks of non-flame-resistant pyjamas from their stores; and asks the Government as a matter of urgency to take appropriate steps to close the loophole in the law by making it illegal to import, manufacture or sell pyjamas that are not flame-resistant.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Liberal Democrat 12, Conservative 4, DUP 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Plaid Cymru 1.
